"The Lebanese-Canadian Crisis" (January 2003) In the latter interview, Baaklini said that the "Zionists" included "a certain segment of Canadian Lebanese," evidently referring to groups such as the Canadian Lebanese Human Rights Federation (CLHRF) and the Ottawa-based Council of Lebanese Canadian Organizations (COLCO), which supported the ban on Hezbollah activity in Canada. The Lebanese government's objection to sanctions against a foreign-backed guerrilla organization occupying large swathes of its territory was hardly a surprise given Syria's continued military and political hegemony in Lebanon. Canadian officials later explained that Chrétien had not been adequately briefed, but the gaffe-prone prime minister's remarks signified precisely the Canadian government's policy toward Hezbollah prior to December 2002. www.meib.org /articles/0301_l3.htm   (2127 words)

Lebanon (country) - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Lebanon (country) In 1988 President Assad of Syria, with the agreement of the Lebanese government and Iran, sent his troops into South Beirut in an attempt to restore order and secure the release of hostages believed to be held there. However, the bombing campaign which had gained strength since Israel bombed three Lebanese power stations in February continued despite, and perhaps as a result of, universal condemnation of Israel's actions at a recent meeting of the 22-nation Arab League. Meanwhile, Lebanon, and particularly Beirut, became a battlefield for the Iranian-backed Shiite Hezbollah and Syrian-backed Shiite Amal factions. encyclopedia.farlex.com /Lebanon+(country)   (1914 words)

Canada World View - Issue 17 - Autumn 2002 In the mid-1970S, during the Lebanese civil war, Canada was the only country to adopt special immigration measures to assist Lebanese fleeing the conflict; it even set up an emergency visa office in Nicosia, Cyprus, in 1989. One of the most famous of the early Lebanese immigrants was a woman, Annie Midlige, who grew up in the mountains around Beirut and came to Ottawa in 1895.

Christian Coalition International (Canada) Inc. We demand that the Canadian government publicly convey its position, in clear and unambiguous terms, to both the Lebanese and Syrian regimes. The Lebanese-Canadian community has always counted on the support of the Canadian people and government to defend the most fundamental of human rights in a region that is hostile to many ethnic and religious groups. We believe that a loud Canadian voice in defense of Prime Minister Aoun and against the fabricated judicial case brought against him is simply a natural application of the core values of Canadian international relations and principles. www.ccicinc.org /world/102503-1.html   (881 words)
